ArtStyle: Pictobits is one of the many DSiWare games that will soon no longer be available on their original hardware.
If you have an old Nintendo DSi or DSi XL lying around, you might want to dig it out today for one final trip to the online store. That's because today marks your last chance to add funds to purchase downloadable games that will soon be lost down digital gaming's ever-expanding memory hole.
After 5pm PDT today, you will no longer be able to purchase the virtual "DSiWare points" currency used to download digital games on DSi systems. Points purchased today (or previously) can still be spent on new games until March 31, 2017; that will also be the last day to redownload games you've previously purchased.
Games already downloaded to a DSi will still work after that date, and you can even transfer those DSiWare purchases over to a newer 3DS to keep them consolidated on fresher hardware. The vast majority of the DSiWare library will also still be available through the DSiWare section of the Nintendo 3DS eShop, so this isn't exactly the end of the line for the hundreds of titles made for Nintendo's first portable digital storefront. (If you're looking for some good DSiWare download recommendations, NeoGAF has a robust crowdsourced list going.)
